Picture 4 Introduction Picture 5

BUSHCRAFT COMES FROM a desire to reconnect with nature. Its the skills you need to be able to use what you have in the outdoors to help you survive. This book is an illustrated guide to help you acquire that knowledge, showing you exactly how these tools and skills can be used.

It is important in bushcraft to be fully aware of the natural world around you. I often tell my students to become a naturalist first and a bushcrafter second. Thats because so much of what you need to survive in the wilderness is provided by the wilderness itself. Naturalists and authors like Richard Graves and Mors Kochanski who helped develop the practice meant for bushcraft to be a set of skills that allowed you to effectively create what you need from what youre able to find.

Carrying a simple survival kit is always the best plan. Youll be able to bring these items with you in order to work with the materials you find. This book catalogs the most beneficial items youll want to carry into the woods as theyre more difficult to reproduce from natural materials.

You will then use what you packed to create what you need. You will focus on crafting a myriad of necessitiesfrom traps to shelter to other useful campsite items. Making traps and other food-gathering devices helps to supplement and cut down on the food you need to pack. Building shelter out of natural materials helps you reconnect with nature since you wont have to sleep in tents made of synthetic fabrics. Crafting campsite items makes things more convenient, cutting down on the gear you need to carry and allowing you to replace any damaged gear.

While I have no aversion to the latest and best in modern technology, I find that many times it takes away from the experience of being in the wild. Through the illustrations and instructions included in this book, you should learn about the basic gear and skills you will need to enjoy the wilderness as it is intended. To truly connect with nature requires us to be close to it. While these skills can be used in a bushcraft trip into the woods, you can also use and perfect them in your own backyard or park while camping, canoeing, hunting, fishing, or even homesteading.

I hope you will enjoy this book and your time in nature and, remember, it is always best to be prepared.

Dave Canterbury



CHAPTER 1

PACKS

THERE ARE, OF COURSE , certain elements of kit that we carry into the woods, even though, in the spirit of bushcraft, we prefer to make them from the landscape. I generally prefer to carry only a few items in and make what I need otherwise. After all, this is the essence of bushcraft. But not everyone has the land, resources, or ability to make every single shelter and bed from scratch, nor do we always have the time to make clay pots to cook food in prior to needing to eat. So some items should always be carried in the pack to keep you going.

You should never be fooled into thinking that carrying in kit means you are not practicing bushcraft. You can still make cook utensils, harvest wild edibles, catch and kill wild meat sources, create camp stools and chairs, create a candle holder or lamp hook from a tree fork, or build a tripod to hang your pot. All these things are also bushcraft.

A pack is truly one of the things that is best carried in, but that does not necessarily mean it cannot be made from natural materials later. It could even be put together as a DIY project. I look at the pack as another container, except for carrying tools instead of water or food. In this chapter, Ill show you some of my favorite types of packs, and Ill give you some instructions on how to make your own.

Picture 6 CHOOSE A PACK Picture 7

When youre choosing a pack, youll want something that can contain your kit but isnt too complicated to use. I am a big fan of simplicity and the pack you use does not have to be the fanciest design or the latest and greatest lightweight fabric and technological suspension system. Any canvas bag will work fine. You can also fashion a pack frame easily and attach a simple canvas sack to it in the beginning if you choose to.
